What is in my MOUTH? Continues in October
Virtual tasting event Monday, Oct 12 @ 7PM
So…. nobody’s traveling the world right now. BUT we can learn about distant places and cultures through food and trivia from home! Take your tongue on a trip to a different country each month as we explore the world by asking: What is in my mouth???
The library will provide free snack foods from a different part of the world each month, and host a live, online tasting party on the second Monday of each month with facts about the featured country, trivia, and the chance for participants to rate their mystery snack.
Sign up to reserve your snack and get info about the next online tasting party. We’ll let you know when new snacks are available to pick up from the library each month. Snacks will be bagged so you won’t know what you got until it’s time to taste together. That means folks with food sensitivities will need to proceed with EXTREME CAUTION. Intended for middle and high school ages.
October is STAR WARS READS Month
This October, the greatest bounty in the galaxy will be books: Star Wars Reads, a month-long celebration of reading and Star Wars, is back!
Check starwars.com/news/star-wars-reads for more info, and search “Star Wars” at giblib.org/books to find fun for all ages available right here in the library.
We will also have plenty of Star Wars books on hand during our “Book & Treat” week!
